  • 5 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced (3 tablespoons)
  • 4 cups chopped green cabbage
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, plus more for garnish
  • 4 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth or no-chicken broth

  • 1 large egg or plant-based alternative
  • 2½ tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and sliced garlic for about 4 minutes until softened.
